The story goes something like this: If you look at the last four months of the year, you will note something interesting. SEPTember starts with SEPT, or SEVEN. OCTober starts with OCT, or EIGHT. NOVember starts with NOV, or NON, which is NINE, and DECember starts with DEC, for DECIMAL, which is the basis for modern mathematics. "How did this come about?" you ask. GOOD question. It is said that back in the days of the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar wanted to name a month after himself. For whatever reason he chose the seventh month, called it July, and moved the rest of the months of the year to follow it. When his son, Augustus came to power, he did the same, calling the eighth month August, again moving the following months to follow it. Now here's the kicker: They both wanted the months named after them to have 31 days in them, while at the time, they only had 30. So the each stole a day from February, leaving it with 28 days. I can't claim factual knowledge of this, I wasn't around then. Ask Forty Rod, I think that he was a Corporal in the Roman Legion back then. But this is how I heard it waaaaaay back in Elementary School.

Pretty dystopian future, not as much action as I would have liked. I actually saw it in the theater.

It WAS made into a movie. Starred Don Johnson in 1975. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_and_His_Dog_(1975_film)

I said this the last time this was posted: This is NOT ready to eat, nobody has cut the meat for them.

Before he had to be called, it was my job to take the back off the TV, remove all the vacuum tubes, place them in a cardboard box, and take them down to the Drug Store in the basket of my bicycle to be tested on the "Do it yourself" tube test machine. If I found a bad one, replacements were in the cabinet below the machine. Once I had the proper tube in hand, I still had to ride back home, reassemble the TV, and test it to make sure it was working properly. THEN I could watch "Huckleberry Hound", "Quick Draw McGraw", "The Flintstones", or whatever else I wanted to, as long as there wasn't an OSU ball game on.

Otto doesn't live on my computer.

TV show "Last Man Standing". Mike Baxter is a marketing guy for "Outdoor Man" which is pretty much like Bass Pro Shop. He's a very Right thinking man, with a wife and 3 daughters, some of whom aren't. Comedy ensues. It ran for 6 years on ABC where in was the number 1 rated comedy, and number 3 rated show on the network. Naturally, since he was a popular Right Leaning guy, they cancelled the show. But Fox picked it up and ran it for another 3 years. I highly recommend it.

Mike Baxter.

The primary reason in our country today is so that California and New York don't get to elect the President pretty much by themselves.

That's WHY I'll keep drinking.

Several years ago, I had the "pleasure" of being pulled over for a Commercial Vehicle Roadside Check by an Arizona DOT Officer in a pickup truck. A plain white pickup truck. With a plain white shell on the bed. AND A LADDER RACK ON TOP!! After that I was always able to spot him, but I'd never seen anything like that before.

I knew this one guy that decided to shoot his own turkey for Thanksgiving one year. He REALLY scared everybody else in the Walmart.

I had something like this one in my Jeep YJ back in the '80s. I managed to separate the top from the base, and inserted a green LED into it, spliced into the instrument gauge light wiring. It was liquid filled, so when lighted, the whole thing glowed green.

Don't forget that he even went as far as to go to jail to look.

I said that at the time!

Big Wheels hadn't been invented when I was that age, so for me, it was a Schwinn Tornado bicycle and a Mattel Shootin Shell revolver.

Or allowing news readers to interfere with them.

NO! That would NEVER happen.

But they still b*tch about the Government. I tell them, "If you don't vote, you don't get to complain about it,"

It's not stupid because it's computer controlled. The computer might be stupid, but that's a whole different story. And if you keep driving with a flashing light, YOU'RE the stupid one. Like I said, Really Bad.

The old style Dummy lights in a car would just stay on. The newer light will come on if it's something Bad, but if they're flashing it means something Really Bad.
